Royce White is often the subject of some harsh criticism when it comes to NBA fans speaking openly about the players.
His career started with the Houston Rockets but was shipped to their D-League affiliate the Rio Grande Valley Vipers during the season. The 6-foot-8 forward is now on the Philadelphia 76ers roster after being traded in early July.
White has a severe anxiety disorder which makes him scared to fly and he also suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In turn, those illnesses affect his on-court performance and his ability to make it to away games.
He likes to fight off his haters with positivity, and so far, he’s done a good job at countering the blows.
“@JoeHines57: @Highway_30 Don’t fly a plane you might have an anxiety attack #BeWell” LOL! #BeWell

Apart from the personal issues, his game has taken a hit since merging with the heavy NBA schedule.
In ESPN’s recent 2013 NBA Player Rankings, White was voted at the very bottom of the list.
He had a very positive spin to the bitter news.
“@MySportsLegion: ESPN has ranked Royce White, worst player in the NBA.” @ESPN… I love it, #BeWell friends.
